Learn About Data Manipulation in R Programming – Free Course

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed by John Chambers. One of R’s strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control. The Alison free online course “R for Data Analysis“, provides an introduction to data manipulation in R programming. This will be of great interest to professionals working in the areas of data science and data analysis and who want to learn more about using R for statistical computing.
